Our story
Le Pine has helped generations of Victorian families say goodbye. Our story is shaped by the thousands of families we’ve supported and the diverse communities we’re proud to serve.
The enduring legacy of Joseph and Harriett Le Pine
Le Pine Funerals began in Richmond in 1891, when skilled carpenter Joseph Le Pine and his wife, Harriett, started making coffins for local families. Their compassion, craftsmanship and commitment to community continue to guide the way we care for families today.
